Permission Denied - Unable to Save Draft Videos

Resolving Permission Denied Issues on Mobile Screen​

Problem Description​

When running post scripts, you may encounter the following prompt on your mobile screen:

Permission denied. Unable to save draft videos.

Solution​

This issue occurs because the TikTok app lacks storage permissions. Follow these steps to resolve it:

Step 1: Manually Click the Publish Button​

  1. Locate and tap the Publish button on your mobile screen
  2. Continue with the publishing process

Step 2: Grant System Permissions​

  1. When the system permission request dialog appears, tap Allow
  2. Ensure you grant the TikTok app the required storage permissions

Important Note​

info

This permission setup process only needs to be performed once. Once permissions are granted, subsequent post script runs will not encounter this issue.

Prevention Measures​

To avoid this issue, it's recommended to do the following before first using TikMatrix:

  1. Manually open the TikTok app
  2. Try recording or saving a video draft
  3. Select Allow when prompted for permissions
  4. This will preconfigure the necessary permissions
